AB The main purpose of this paper was to establish the effectiveness of school management andgovernance structures in managing racial integration in public secondary schools. A qualitativestudy was conducted utilising Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Lewin’s Change ManagementTheory. A sample of grade 10 learners and educators, which included members of the SchoolManagement Team (SMT), School Governing Body (SGB), which represented the four previouseducation departments, was purposefully selected. Semi-structured, individual interviews andfocus group discussions, including a questionnaire with open-ended questions, were used togather data. The findings, obtained through content analysis, indicate that SMTs and SGBsexperience difficulty in managing and governing racial integration in public schools due tothe following: policy and practice issues, poor interrelationships, need for capacity building ofeducators, and on-going racial conflict. Based on the findings, recommendations are made onhow SMTs and SGBs could effectively manage racial integration in public secondary schools.,
